In ootp you adjust hitters and pitchers for players with limit action on the lahman datbase by setting the miniumum at bats and inning pitch for relievers and starters. This way a player that went 3 for 5 in his career, dont come out being a superstar.
Will ratings be based on there whole career or the year they debut?
On ootp we can set it to remaining career, whole career, or peak seasons.
Lahman database don't have left/right splits. Will puresim generate realistic splits stats? In ootp we have a choice if we want to or not.
Field ratings going to be based on whole career or that imported season? In ootp we have a choice.

PureSim uses a pretty complex algorithm that includes the player's average performance in a window surtrounding the year as well as his perf that year, so no you don't see supermen just because they had a statistically insignificant amount of AB's. Also, you won't see a star perform horribly just because they missed most of a season (perfect example: Bonds 2005)
PureSim applies an algorithm that models lefty-righty splits for Lahman players. There are a number of heuristics looked at when determining how extreme to go (playing time, contact hitters v. power etc..)
